Got out of bed about 3 PM thought it was a holiday
 Then my boss called just to tell me
 I'm late and he's giving my job away
 Well I took me a walk to the liquor store
 so I could drink away my blues
 Spent my last ten bucks, then I dropped the bottle
 and I broke it all over my shoes
 So I got home to find the power's shut off,
 there was someone knocking at my door
 It was my landlord serving an eviction notice
 'cause my checks are bouncing off the floor
 I pounded my head up against the wall
 thinking what else could go wrong
 But this was only the beginning to a real bad day,
 it wasn't gonna be a lot of fun

 I knew I should have never gotten out of bed
 'Cause of the rain cloud above my head
 I'm down on my luck and it's plain to see
 So tell me why does this happen to me?

 When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours on me
 When it rains it pours, and there's a storm moving in on me
 When it rains it pours, raining down on only me
 When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours

 I drove across town to go see a friend
 when I heard a siren on my tail
 It turned out I had a warrant for my arrest
 and I couldn't even post the bail
 So I'm sittin' in a cell for 48 hours
 [bad word] with thieves and [bad word] 
 I'm free to go but my car's impounded
 and I'm thinkin' 'bout [bad word] a monk
 So I'm wandering [bad word] in a catatonic daze
 now barely a shell of a man
 I look like I live out of a shopping cart
 and I'm picking up aluminum cans
 I staggered my way to an overpass
 and fell to the dirt asleep
 I figured out tomorrow is a new day
 and maybe I could buy myself a life real cheap
